some friday afternoon excitement

I heard the sliding of snow and ice across our roof, then heard the smashing fall, and then opened the front door to find......our gutter laying across our front porch and walkway, along with several cubic foot chunks of solid ice and plenty of ice and snow. Braden ran home from work briefly to clear it away--it was so heavy. The gutter was still encased in heavy ice and hard to move. Not only that, but on its way down the gutter destroyed one of our window frames, smashing it and sending strips of exterior molding flying to the ground. And the gutter also hit both our front porch lights. I'd say that gutter has pretty good aim! The right side of our front yard looks like a miniature junkyard.
